Brad Paisley Admits He Was 'Naive' About 'Accidental Racist'

By JJ Duncan on

(Getty Images)Brad Paisley and LL Cool J caught a lot of flack for their unlikely duet, "Accidental Racist," when it was released in April.

By Alicia Dennis on

(Getty Images)LL Cool J has been up to some mighty questionable antics lately ("WHADDUP"), but none of it is bound to generate as much at attention as his new collaboration with Brad Paisley, unleashed on the Internet a few days ago. "Accidental Racist" explores the relationship between Southern pride and racism (ahem, Confederate flag-wearers) in the absolute oddest way possible: A country/hip-hop duet.

Overview

A community portal about LL Cool J with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: James Todd Smith III, better known as LL Cool J, is an American hip hop artist and actor. He is best known for romantic ballads like " I Need Love " as well as hardcore rap like "I Can't Live Without My Radio", "I'm Bad", "Boomin' System", & " Mama Said Knock You Out ". He has also appeared in several films. He is seen as a sex symbol and a ladies' man, due to his "flirtatious" lip-licking and his muscular body. LL Cool J represents an important figure within the hip hop community, and is one of a few hip-hop stars of his era to sustain a successful recording career for more than two decades. He has released 11 albums and a greatest hits album so far, with the much anticipated Todd Smith Pt. 2 to be released in late 2006. The album will be the last on LL's record deal with Def Jam, a deal which has lasted more than twenty years.
